How to teach IGH to a 4-year old (fight, high, night)

- Here are the steps I use to introduce a new phonics pattern. I have rules that make it easy for parents to teach, word lists and fluency passages in my Reading Rules online course!
The thing I notice is that he never said no, wrong, not like that, even agreeing with child that in fact it does look like. That is powerful stuff.
Great observation!
Yes! Because the way he sounded it out is correct with what he has been taught so far
definitely. whenever someone says im wrong i feel butthurt and dont want to listen anymore 😢
Yes and it’s a very important part! If you say they are wrong when they make a great and thoughtful guess, they will stop trying. And they will associate error with bad. We need to make mistakes. It’s an important part of learning.
Validating the reason why we’re incorrect makes it a lot easier to accept it and learn what is correct.
Shows him “sleigh”
Him: “Sleye??”
He then thinks who ever spelled English was high
Obviously they’re supposed to be in the centre for it to have an I sound 🤨

Phonics, one of the best ways to get solid readers for life, Good on you!
Yeah I was really surprised to realise not everyone did phonics in early schooling. Even my peers from nearby schools didn't know what phonics were. I was like "how do you know how to read???" Apparently they are out here memorising all the weird words instead of the building blocks to make them. Wild. Phonics are where it's at.
It can also hinder them if they don't move on from phonics after a while
@@eleruces7722 Why would you say that... Phonics is a basic foundation to being multilingual. It helps children decode and spell. It makes sight reading far easier. Please explain why anyone should move on from it?
Now I've got the HOOKED ON PHONICS WORKED FOR ME! commercial stuck in my head haha
If you don't progress from phonics after a certain age the kids will struggle with speed and pronunciation
Man, you really set him straight. He rolled with that lesson like a heavyweight. Took on that challenge like a freight train. He can now teach cool lessons like these to his neighbor. Your bigheartedness is helping this child flourish. I can’t believe he has learned all of this before reaching the age of eight.
After one works through the "igh" combo, we then broach the "eigh" grouping.
The fun ones are all the exceptions. English am suckful!
I see what you did there😂
Very few things inspire me more than watching a good teacher in action.
This man is incredible. His patience and his motivations and the way he breaks everything down in easy to understand bits of information for children. My daughter is 4 and my only wish is that I’d found his channel sooner.
Sight words are actually important, they teach about blending by the looks of the word , teacher of course teach phonics , but it is always the role of the parents to ensure these skills are at the level they are supposed to be at
This is how I was taught in school phonics 😂because I had hard time reading
I love your teaching styles...your warm voice and supporting eyes helped him to learn more ❤
incredible? this should be normal for everyone to do with their kids.
I wish i had found his channel sooner aswell x
What a sweet voice he's soo cutee
Kids are so smart!! You're doing such a great job of positively reinforcing to keep him excited to learn. I love this!!
I wish I had someone like you to teach me…keep up the good job!!!
you can't pronounce words ?
@@santanzotsshahaha I thought the same thing. I think she meant to say “I wish I’d had.” She forgot the second had..
@@MrZicle Or maybe she didn’t 😉
Um. Some people aren't born in English. 😂@@santanzotss
Well now you know ! IGH makes the “eye” sound 😊 good luck on your journey !
I absolutely love when you nodded and said yes when the child sounded out the word as it appears. It’s such a perfect reinforcement to the child that he is on the right track and doing a good job. And then such an easy and clear explanation about the proper pronunciation of the word. a simple and subtle method to instill self confidence in your child as he learns. Brilliant! Bravo, amazing! And I am putting this in my parenting tool bag.
Yes. The teacher's approach left him still eager and open to continue learning. Then when the man circled the igh notice the boy said right away ī without being prompted. That means without being corrected or told what to do he 'quickly' corrected himself and said ī. This teacher is exceptional and also knows his phycology
How does he develop so fast? Is he thar last word?
Love this man. Top level teaching from the tone, volume, and speed of his voice to the requests he makes, the questions he asks and the simple highlighting of the 'igh' by drawing a box around it. Great job!
Simply perfect. Love seeing it big fella and little fella. Keep the family strong, and they'll keep you strong. Love and Respect.
This is called phonics.....the public school system stopped teaching this years ago. This dad is awesome!
Good Job Dad..
Excellent Parenting
My kindergartners are learning phonics in a public kindergarten and with their PTs every Tuesday. (I have 4 year old twin girls)
Phonics and blending
No they didn’t?
Where do you live that they've stopped?
Eight
"E ite?"
"NO! WHAT ARE YOU STUPID?! IT'S ATE!"
😂😂😂😂😂 made me laugh out loud 🤣
but height is still hite
😂😂😂
😂 English is weird
You mean to tell me that I’ve been pronouncing neIGHbor wrong my whole life ? 🤯
FANTASTIC teaching methodology. Empowering, not making them feel dumb for making mistakes, but bringing yourself into their world and expanding it. Bravo.
Great use of both positive and specific feedback that encourages students to learn. :)
He was born to teach. God's gift to him indeed.
And that's no small thing. Most teachers are not good teachers. That's not to say that they are bad people. It's just that some people have the calm patients and compassion, where others just wanted their summers off! 😏
That’s his own gift. “God” didn’t give it to him. Don’t give god credit.
@Justhppy2behere girl keep it moving. I said what I said and I meant what I said. Go find your people who don't believe in God's gifts and start a chat among yourself. Move on now.
God bless.
Give people credit for their abilities instead of undermining their abilities by stating that they are bestowed.
@@Justhppy2behere Thank you!
Good teacher, kind, patient and encouraging. You have no idea how much these kids will look back at this during difficult times and pull strength from how you treated them and made them believe in themselves ❤
This is so wholesome and such a great way to teach children
For anyone who's wondering, the word fight used to be pronounced as it is spelled, but the pronunciation of letters has changed, so it if we were going to use the original pronunciation, we would probably spell it more like _feeqtuh._
The original sound that the GH in modern English represents, no longer exists in English. It is the Old English letter yogh that this digraph represents. The printing press caused replacements of several letters with equivalent two letter combinations, to economize on the number of letter stamps they needed to make.
Examples of the sound of yogh in modern languages:
1. The CH in German, as in Ich.
2. The X in Russian, usually transliterated as a kh for English readers to interpret.
3. The Q in Arabic words, as in Qatar.
Even though I learned to read myself as a child, I have forgotten how I did it. It seemed to happen over night like magic. Now, when I watch children do these things that I did, I look at them in amazement - like they are the next Einstein or Shakespeare, as well they might be. It seems a miracle to me that we can learn to speak, largely by observation, and then go on a few short years later to interpret a set of squiggles on a page as words and language. It is taken for granted by many, but I find the whole process mind blowing.
This is exactly how I felt when teaching my kid. I didn't know why or how I learned, so I essentially had to break it down to the basics for myself, even though I'm an avid reader/writer and always have been. We weren't really prepared because she just suddenly wanted to learn around 2.5 and was catching on to things without us even trying, so we just had to wing it. Little brains soak up information like crazy and it will never not blow my mind. There are still some things I just don't know how to explain, but fortunately my husband is great at filling those gaps. I do the reading and writing, he does the math and science. Unfortunately for me she is way more interested in math and science 😂
@@deathbloom27 I'm glad I'm not the only one who is blown away by it. Just like your remarkable child's instincts kicked in, so did yours as parents when the time was right, and have been filling that wonderful brain with so much information as well as love and care no doubt. I'm also atrocious at math, and much prefer subjects in which there is a little more room for error. I'm glad she's interested in math and science though. That's the sort of thing the world needs more of. Wishing you and your family a happy time learning, growing and exploring. All the best.
same here I don't remember learning to read. I think i just picked it up from being read to and skipped the learning by phonics part.
My sister taught me how to read when I was little. I read it out loud the same way she was teaching me, very slowly and one syllable at a time. Eventually she lost patience with me because she thought I wasn't getting it. I just hadn't realised that I was supposed to change the way I was reading it out loud. I just kept imitating her 😂 I think they only realised that I knew how to read when they heard me read out loud the shop names when we were traveling 😂 I still remember how I thought it was so tedious to read the abc book the way were because I was already able to read a sentence at a time but was reading the words by pausing after each syllable like how my sister did 😂 My poor sister 😂 I did like how she was basically reading a bed time story with me every night so I'm not sure if that was another reason why I didn't think to tell her that I had already learnt to read 😂
@@ragdoll86 Bless you and bless your sister. We cant help but underestimate children because we forget how easily and quickly they absorb everything. They don't miss a trick that's for sure, just like you clearly didn't.
Phonics, not sight reading! Exactly how I taught my 6 children to read. Bring it back. Way to teach! ♥️📖
Sight reading is also important.
@@invisiblespirit5476My kid learned sight at school and phonics with me, this kid can figure out just about any word now 😁
Hooked on phonics was amazing and I also watched TV with closed captions and my parents spoke to me like a human being. I was reading at a college level when I was 10.
All tools are useful. I'm a teacher and not all kids are the same. A student needs to be engaged and a teacher needs to be flexible.
Totally agree! I was flabbergasted when I heard that some people took phonics out of some schools. All of the schools I've worked in had rigorous phonics spelling curriculums and had awesome readers in the secondary levels overall.
Why does this give me so much joy 😭 im a teacher albeit of much older kids and i just love seeing this 😭💜💜💜
He's so adorable!.... Way to go little man! So smart 😊
The little kid is SO cute 😢
His voice is so sweet too
What a brilliant way to teach a child. Good job dad!
You need your own show like Supernanny where you get the worst kids in class to learn to read 😂
Good idea
He could not possibly be more adorable. 🥰 That big voice and confidence from such a little man.
love the way he sounds out the letters😁 so cute!!
My elementary school used "Hooked on phonics" computer classes for teaching vocab and pronunciation, worked wonderfully.
Fantastic. We need a lot more like him now… and a lot more like the smart little guy he’s teaching for the next gen.
We have plenty of Mexicans
THIS! This is how children should be taught to read. It’s called Phonics and it used to be how we learned to read. It teaches you the “rules” of how the English language puts letters together to form words. That way, kids don’t have to learn every word by itself. They can see a new word and take the rules they know, apply them to the word, and figure out what that word is. Just like this child has done under the loving guidance of his father.
Yeah it's crazy bc in schools these days a lot of the time they're no longer taught this!! They're being taught "sight words", reading by sight which is just not how the english language works! my little brother was part of that learning system and now he's in yr 9 and like he still can't spell some of the simplest words 😳
There's plenty of exceptions, though, lol. Which is why "How do you spell that?" is such a known and important phrase. :P
That's his tutor, not father.
Its building block! Sight words & phonics work together to be unbeatable@@tomaszwota1465
@@isatheone I teach second grade, and I can tell you, at least in my district, we teach by sounds and their associated spelling patterns. There's lots of different ways to spell the long i sound. Common words like "water" are considered tricky for a little bit until they learn that the "wa" spelling also makes the /o/sound
Bookworms curriculum teaches the sight words “Night” and “Write” together which I love because they make that connection of I with a magic E and IGH both making that long I sound, my students tend to remember this vowel team more!
Your most popular video just popped in my algorithm! I just want to say you’re amazing and I will be using your skills for learning with my toddler this summer! Keep up the amazing work you do!
I have been working with my 4 year old on sounding out the letters and I’m proud to say she’s the only 4 year old we know that can somewhat read… and it’s not memorized sight words… I can’t wait to teach her igh
You also do need to do sight words especially for words that don't follow rules. Like eight, ant height, neighbor etc. Mixture of strategies .
@@truthhearit1471"eigh" makes the "a" sound so they all follow the rules
Phonics saved me. As a person with dyslexic disabilities, I could not rely on picture words. There is no way, I would be able to read without learning phonics through educational cards and games. What you’re teaching is extremely valuable.
When I was in elementary school we were taught a rudimentary form of phonics and encouraged to use the dictionary to learn pronunciation, spelling and meanings of new words. It because my second most important book.
Great student, amazing teacher/educator/parent
I love kids so much haha such pure souls
I love that you acknowledge that it looks like that. These kind of videos get me so excited 😊😊😊
You are an amazing person and teacher 👏👏 it’s great to see the younger generation being taught with love and patience. It shows the passion you have for your work. Absolutely delightful 🥰
I did this with my son too! I wrote out all the -igh- words I could think of. I worked my way thru the alphabet. There’s quite a few!
That was the way I was taught with phonics, that was the old-fashion and best way to learn. And you can pronounce just about every word in the English language.
I just love you ❤️. Thank you for being an amazing positive impact for the world.
Love his little voice ❤
So beautiful - teaching is an art
I first saw this technique when my auntie taught her kids to read. She was a kindergarten teacher, sadly she passed away 2 years ago due to cancer. She was the purest soul I’ve ever met. Al-fatihah for her 😢
jazakallah khair 🤲🏽❤️
I love your videos.
You are such a naturally gifted teacher.
What you've got can not be taught or brought.
❤❤❤
Damn this is wholesome. Good dad
I wish I had had a teacher like you. Spelling and reading were so hard for me. This calm, relaxed explanation is amazing.
Love how you're teaching him
That is so clever !! What a wonderful way to teach a child a difficult spelling combo!!! And what clever little cutie !@ He got it straight away !! What a wonderful memory for this son and daddy to remember in the years to come !!!!! Well done dad for your gentleness and patience!!!😇😊☺😘🥰🥰❤🗨👏👏
I love everything about the way you teach because you share the same passion as I do when I am delivering my interventions. Nothing is more rewarding than when a child (who struggled with self esteem) to say at the end of his session with me "I'm so proud of myself!" "Wow I did!" Makes all of it so worthwhile! ♡
Education education is very important in my family my grandson could read by Age 4 and my daughter teaches my granddaughter to read now and she's three this guy is an awesome teacher because he understands how to teach phonics
I like the high five at the end.
That physical positive reinforcement is crucial to learning. A dopamine hit that solidifies the learning as a good and memorable.
If more teachers incorporated this small dopamine hit with all their students no matter what age, I think they would retain and learn more.
Too bad teachers have to do this with 30+ kids at the same time, each at a different level and temperament.
@@bluemind423 maybe not this particular one to one tactic of learning. But again, reinforcing that dopamine hit even over a wider spread. Group engagement, and getting everyone involved.
I agree in the class room sizes, obviously a teachers divided attention is not as affective and having a smaller class is better. Our teachers are so vital in shaping a child’s entire future, and very much, deserve better. Better pay, better working standards.
Phenomenally done!
This is such a great teaching moment! Great job!
such a smart kid, and very good teaching technique, good job
You are amazing 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 blessed to teach
I taught my kids phonics before they went to school. What a hugh head start it gave them.
I taught my children to read and I was a privilege. I was so proud of how hard they worked. It’s something we take for granted , but often forget how much mental energy it takes to learn.
So good to see you teaching your child correctly. You are giving him a great start. I hope he doesn’t encounter teachers using word walls- thebworstnpissiblebwsyntomyeachnthebchildren.
This is literally the exact segment on the 70s PBS show ‘The Electric Company’ where Morgan Freeman and Rita Moreno would be facing each other in silhouette and the word segments would appear to come out of their mouths.
Between that show, Sesame Street and Mr. Roger’s and my Mom reading to me-by the time I went to kindergarten, I was so far ahead they wanted to start me at 1st grade.
Yeah those were the days when kids were smart as hell because of those type of TV shows now CZcams shorts are giving all the kids ADHD from the lack of attention span that it gives you. 😢😮 Stupid CZcams I can't stop scrolling 😅
@@michie4872adhd is genetic 🤦♂️
I think of that segment often! We were lucky to have The Electric Co and Sesame Street... I learned to read before kindergarten as well. Annoyed my parents as we drove around town and I'd read all the street signs and company signs!
You’re a magic man! Keep wizarding them children!🤍🤍🤍
Look at the smile on that kid! Who says learning is boring?
We didn't have such amazing teachers and we turned out to be just fine...
My heart melted ❤ so precious. That little boy loves him. Precious!
Very well done, but wouldn't this confuse them with the word "eight"?
every language has exceptions. every kid gets used to it
@@kameronpeterson3601 well said.
"eigh" has it's own rule - it sounds like "a".
@@kameronpeterson3601tough, though, thought, through. Yep, that’s for sure lol
Yes, and that confusion will be handled the same way as when he first pronounced "fight" as "fig-hu-t" in this example: by explaining that when you put "e" in front of "igh," it makes the sound ā instead of ī.
its annoying they arent teaching phonetics properly anymore in schools and instead are just teaching words, no wonder the kids today struggle to spell so badly😭
They do. Lots of schools do, some also don't. My role in one of my classes is to specifically teach phonics to 12/13 year olds who have a low reading age. My school has 3 of these, plus one for older students, and 1:1 targeted intervention for specific students. I know of plenty of other schools who use this same approach.
Who are 'they' when you made your comment?
I’m dyslexic and I wish I had someone to teach me this I’m 17 right now and it’s still really hard so I’m happy that I can watch you and learn
I read somewhere that a lot of elementary schools in the states don’t teach kids proper phonics so this made me happy
That's phenomenal.
Only problem is that English is the one language that throws all pronunciation rules out the window.
Right! Like in the words eight and height.
Yes, you’ll have to memorize the exceptions in English. We have a lot of French and Latin in the language, so English can sometimes feel like three languages in a trench coat. 😅
Not really. There are just more options, and you have to know how to use each option
@@tearsien It has nothing to do with "options".
I'll grant you that some pronunciation "problems" or mix ups are exclusive to English from the USA.
That said, the English language has very few hard set pronunciation rules, and I'm inclined to say spelling rules. The great majority of the rules are bent, and many to a point you could argue they are broken.
Let me give you three examples (out of many):
(1)
Nose UK:/ˈnəʊz/ or US:/noʊz/]
Chose UK:/tʃəʊz/ or US:/tʃoʊz/]
After learning those two you'd think "Dose" would be pronounced UK:/dəʊz/ or US:/doʊz/, and yet that would be "Doze", while "Dose" is pronounced UK:/dəʊs/ or US:/doʊs/.
Now let's look at "Lose" which is pronounced UK:/ˈluːz/ or US:/luz/
This one kept the /z/ sound, but changed the /ō/ sound for a /ōō/ sound.
(2)
Read UK:/ˈriːd/ or US:/rid/
Read UK:/ˈrɛd/ or US:/rɛd/
Red UK:/ˈrɛd/ or US:/rɛd
(3)
Bow /'bəʊ/ or US:/bəʊ/
Bow /baʊ/
The second sounds like
Brow UK:/'braʊ/ or US:/braʊ/
While the first sounds like
Row UK:/'rəʊ/ or US:/roʊ/
This is so prevalent you can find many CZcams creators making videos about this. Here is one for you to enjoy: czcams.com/users/shorts7xxlnxKkmUc?si=IIvvZhXKYRBjePVs
@@aridavid10 When I say options I meant different ways to pronounce different spellings of words. You can always find many different ways to pronounce a word and chose whichever flows off your tongue better, it's usually that version. You can develop an ability to understand how words are pronounced by its spelling and vise versa most of the time.
If you're incorrect there is nothing wrong in getting the pronounciation of a word incorrectly if you had not heard it before (You can't be comfortable in any language of a words pronounciation based on set rules for spellings). It's always best to hear the pronounciation of a word you hadn't heard at the end of the day.
I personally love and think it's quite smart how English has these different pronounciations of spellings, it helps and allows the language to be molded to allow for better clarity while speaking. It helps for differenciation of words when spoken quietly or interrupted. Allows for words to flow better in a sentence. There are many advantages to having maleable pronounciations to spellings.
This is exactly how my mother and grandmother taught me how to read, they always encouraged me and gave me a passion for learning
Beautiful teaching home studying studying is beautiful
We need ppl like these
So smart and the little guy is just so cute 🫶
The greatest teacher ever ❤❤❤❤
What an amazingly patient father AND son. I work as a nanny and getting a kid that age to bridge the gap from making the sounds of a new word separately to sounding it all as one is no small feat. Keep rockin little man
He's so boss! Man this is gold ❤❤❤
I have dyslexia, and personally Orton Gillingham is the thing that taught me how to read so I find this amazing.😊
These are the moments where I appreciate being an elementary school teacher in Germany. We have next to no exceptions. We don't have spelling bee's because the hardest challenge might be a silent "h" or a double consonant, but even they can be heard.
This kid is smart. He picked it up very fast.
Just stopping by to say I’m so thankful for you and sending blessings to everyone here
Great job dad. Proud of you
We had a great teacher, who taught us the origin of words; she'd take the root word, and teach us the history of it, so we'd understand why some words are spelled a certain way. We learned a lot about culture and history simultaneously. I'm always grateful for that teacher, because she really taught us to be curious about what is right in front of us.
its crazy what having a REAL teacher can do to ones life. Right now we are seeing a little boy learning but later i know he's gonna be using these tools and thanking this man. I personally know so many people who could have used the help
Nice one. Now let's try it with comb and tomb...
Bro, i dont have a kid but super impressed with your vids, you seem like a great teacher
Super calm instructions bro. Well done. I see your commitment and patience with your students. Something to inspire me with my 3 year old daughter
It's amazing how much respect you teach a child to read, it's amazing master
I do appreciate the love, time and patience shown though. English language is no joke!
You can feel the brain synapses connecting. And the profound feeling of accomplishment he is experiencing.
Being patient. That man has it. He’s good.
This is so sweet. Smart teacher, smart kid.
Awww what a great man and smart baby ❤
You are doing a great job dad
This kids actually very good for 4
What a great kid! If you are his father you are doing a great job raising him!
I wish my father was this ready to help me learn.
Wow! Great teacher. Excellent. patient. ❤
Science of reading! If you’re not familiar, check it out. Many districts and states are switching over and its a great curriculum to adopt
love how you explain to him "yeah, you would think its like that - however" idk its little things like that that let kids understand they're on the right track, learning is just complicated :)
